Ever since I've upgraded my friend's pc (from rh9 to fc3), the pc has
been experiencing wierd problems. I would like to chuck it all, except
for the stuff I should keep.
I figure I should keep /home, but what else?
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, perhaps?
/etc/ssh_config is a favorite as well.
Dumping these (from rh9) on top of what fc3 creates won't mess things up?
Now, just for the sake of argument, let's say that I'm keeping only
"/home" and "/stuff". Should I first wipe the drive, do the fresh
install, and *then* dump /home and /stuff back in? Or should I dump
them back in *before* doing the fresh install.
If they're backed up, it doesn't much matter -- if the fresh install
screws 'em up, you just dump 'em back after as well. Personally, I
would wait for after, just to avoid doing it twice or having to take
extra care.
Understood.
